Deanston Chronicles Edition 1
As a lover of Deanston and their famous waxy and floral character, Murdo hits an obstacle; the complexity of casks gets in the way of simply enjoying one of his favourites.
Tobermory 17yo PX
When the Tobermory Distillery Halo Effect kicks in and Innes bursts out his wallet for a whisky that, in the end, has him asking "When is too much sherry cask influence a problem?"
Bunnahabhain 7yo Peated Duo
Despite hailing from a whisky-fertile province of North America, Broddy laments the drop in Bunnahabhain availability simply because of a personnel change. He still finds and scores 2 bargains though.
Virgin Oak Glen Garioch vs Deanston
It’s been said malt and virgin oak don’t work. Broddy grabs a Glen Garioch and a Deanston Cask Strength for a side by side. There’s a clear winner, even if is scoring is a little less clear on this one.
Deanston 15yo Tequila Cask
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. It’s one of Fletch’s favourites; Deanston. Looking for something that the Tequila cask has imparted, he compares it to a similarly insipid Tequila cask blend.
Ledaig 10yo vs Ledaig 10yo
Celebrating batch variation and reminding us that darker does not mean better, even if it does in this case. Tav tucks in to a crowd pleasing Ledaig 10yo comparison.
Deanston 10yo Bordeaux
A recent trip through Heathrow’s travel retail leaves Drummond uninspired, so he grabs a solid bottle from Deanston he picked up for a song, back when GTR (as it’s known) was a little more interesting.
Ledaig Rioja Cask Versus
Earie places a popular bang-for-buck Ledaig against a very similarly profiled indie release, only to have him wondering why there isn’t an official cask strength from Mull’s in vogue peat monster.
